Sounds like it's going to use the RE engine. Should be pretty wild.

The official Xbox Bluetooth headset for $99 is a helluva deal. Had them for about two weeks and they are by far the best headset I've owned. Easy to use, charges really fast and everything is crystal freakin clear.
Work for PC too, naturally. |

Forspoken gets delayed from May 25th to October 11th. Luminous Productions needs extra time for spit and polish.
Welp, there goes my big game for the summer. |

Well, Sony put up the starter investment money to Jade Raymond to get the studio off the ground.
And I bet the purchase price isn't much either. Low risk, potentially high reward I suppose. |

Sounds like Xbox Game Pass still has a leg up but this is a start. Will be picking up a new system in the next couple months. This may sway me to the PS side.

They have a LOT to do to try to catch game pass. They will need to start revamping and updating their cloud technology if they want to make it better. Stream-only will hurt quite a bit.

Only reason, IMO, to go PS5, is for exclusives.

This just brings us back to the point that its smarter to just have a PC and PS5. Do not see any point whatsoever in having an Xbox console ever again.

Nah, if you want to take advantage of the game pass but don't want to shell out to buy a rig and keep it updated, Series x is still a good buy. This is a step in the right direction for sony, but as drave said, game pass still has a few advantages going off that presser.

Isn't there only limited games from Xbox game pass on the pc though? Feel like having an Xbox gets you the better games.

I'd say 90% or more of the games on console are on PC on gamespass. Console does have a few exclusives, but they are all niche games, and PC has its on set of games that aren't on the console version as well to make up for it. |

and Im not saying Gamespass is bad. It is a far superior service. I love it to death. But it doesn't make the Series X a smart purchase imo. There is a distinct reason why Sony still kills them in hardware sales even though they have the best deal in the business in Gamespass.

The upkeep of PC's is much more than financial. When Little Jimmie wants to see a Little Tittie and fucks up his PC, it's all over.
Seriously though, its updates and technical knowledge that stop most people, on top of a ridiculous price tag if you want to run things "well". This is something I'm learning as my son has his first rig. He knows fuckall about computer updates, security 101, internet basics (I have this sorted for now), etc. That's strictly the software portion of the issue. Don't even start with hardware. |

Name and brand recognition will do this, especially in other markets, especially Japan. Current gen hardware is honestly pretty even. I'm interested to see what late-gen games look like with the playground devs have been given combined with things we've already seen. gonna be amazing. |

Man I got sucked into that for about a month and then something else grabbed my attention.
Gotta admit though, the update sounds badass |

It's like No Man's Sky, Destiny, and Elite: Dangerous got thrown into a blender and this is what came out.
Not sold on it yet and I'm not going to run out and buy a Xbox when I can just back into either of those games whenever I feel the itch. Tell me what I can "really" do, then I may change my mind. |

They said everything shown is releasing within the next 12 months.
Obviously, that doesn't count for delays, but if even half of those titles hit that mark, theres gonna be a lot of cool stuff to play within the year. |
